Overall Customer Satisfaction
Customers consistently praise the shop for delivering outstanding repair quality, with vehicles frequently described as looking brand new upon return. The team receives high marks for professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail. Communication stands out as a major strength, with customers appreciating regular progress updates that kept them informed and stress-free throughout the repair process. Timeliness is another highlight, as many vehicles were completed ahead of schedule. Customers also value the complimentary interior and exterior cleaning, use of OEM parts, and the shop's willingness to advocate with insurance companies. Some customers noted minor delays due to parts availability or quality concerns with replacement components, but emphasized the shop prioritized doing the job right over rushing. The lifetime paint warranty and strong referral culture reflect deep customer trust and loyalty.

We are very impressed with Carrillo & Sons and DEFINITELY will be spreading the word. If we ever need auto body repairs again, we will be returning.

Incredible service!!!

Customer Service

Belle and Ken were professional, courteous, kind, communicative, welcoming, helpful, and overall fanatstic!

My Experience

Really impressive staff! The front office gave us continuous updates on our vehicle status, and they were able to fix it 10 days earlier than the original estimate. Also, they worked quickly with insurance so I didn’t have to. The van looks like new, and they repainted and completely detailed inside the van, they went above and beyond!

My Experience

They made it very easy. Everyone in the office is so nice and answered any questions we had. Our 2025 Yukon Denali looks like it did the day we bought it. I really like how they used only OEM parts.

My Experience

This shop should be the standard to which others are measured by. Right from the start they took charge and kept me very much informed along the way. The workmanship is perfect and done in a very timely manner. During the repair, it was discovered that a previous windshield replacement had leaked and rusted out metal that holds the glass in. Carrillo and Sons assisted me and worked with Safelight through their warranty program. (Shoutout to Safelite glass as they totally honored their lifetime warranty). I could not be happier with Carrillo and Sons. 10/10

Couldn’t ask for better service from beginning to end. More than satisfied with the repair job and car was immaculate when returned which was so nice. The office staff is also wonderful, especially Bell.

Customer Service

My Experience

First of all, the communication was excellent. Initially, Daniel helped me with the estimate, but when he was out of the office, Tony stepped in and kept me updated on the parts needed for the repair. Later, David jumped in once the loaner became available and worked with me on the pickup arrangements. The communication among the team was top-notch, which kept me informed every step of the way. Second, Daniel was kind enough to cover the cost of the loaner. Since I was paying for the repairs out of pocket and the overall expense was pretty significant, that gesture was greatly appreciated. Lastly, David took the time to patiently explain Supplements 1 and 2, and overall the repair work turned out fantastic. The paint matched very well, and the dent repairs were done so well that even the contours looked brand new. Thank you for making my first auto body shop experience (and hopefully my last!) smooth, stress-free, and far less intimidating than I expected. I will definitely recommend your shop to my friends and family.
